x86, acpi: Handle xapic/x2apic entries in MADT at same time
One system have mixing xapic and x2apic entries in MADT and SRAT.
BIOS guys insist that ACPI 4.0 SPEC said so, if apic id < 255, even
the cpus are with x2apic mode pre-enabled, still need to use xapic entries
instead of x2apic entries.
on 8 socket system with x2apic pre-enabled, will get out of order sequence:
CPU0: socket0, core0, thread0.
CPU1 - CPU 40: socket 4 - socket 7, thread 0
CPU41 - CPU 80: socket 4 - socket 7, thread 1
CPU81 - CPU 119: socket 0 - socket 3, thread 0
CPU120 - CPU 159: socket 0 - socket 3, thread 1
so max_cpus=80 will not get all thread0 now.
Need to handle every entry in MADT at same time with xapic and x2apic.
so we can honor sequence in MADT.
We can use max_cpus= command line to use thread0 in every core,
because recent MADT always have all thread0 at first.
Also it could make the cpu to node mapping more sane.
after patch will get
CPU0 - CPU 79: socket 0 - socket 7, thread 0
CPU80 - CPU 159: socket 0 - socket 7, thread 1
-v2: update some comments, and change to pass array pointer.

scsi: bump up SD_MAX_DISKS
SD_MAX_DISKS is arbitrarily limited to the number of scsi disks in the
namespace constructed of "sd" followed by one to three of the letters
a-z, or 18278 disks. There is no need for this limit, since appending
a fourth letter works perfectly fine. This simple patch just bumps the
number up to allow up to four letters after "sd". It might be best to
simply remove the test against SD_MAX_DISKS, but this is the patch that
has been unit tested.

xen/e820: if there is no dom0_mem=, don't tweak extra_pages.
The patch "xen: use maximum reservation to limit amount of usable RAM"
(d312ae878b6aed3912e1acaaf5d0b2a9d08a4f11) breaks machines that
do not use 'dom0_mem=' argument with:
reserve RAM buffer: 000000133f2e2000 - 000000133fffffff
(XEN) mm.c:4976:d0 Global bit is set to kernel page fffff8117e
(XEN) domain_crash_sync called from entry.S
(XEN) Domain 0 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#0:
...
The reason being that the last E820 entry is created using the
'extra_pages' (which is based on how many pages have been freed).
The mentioned git commit sets the initial value of 'extra_pages'
using a hypercall which returns the number of pages (if dom0_mem
has been used) or -1 otherwise. If the later we return with
MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES as basis for calculation:
which means we end up with extra_pages = 128GB in PFNs (33554432)
- 8GB in PFNs (2097152, on this specific box, can be larger or smaller),
and then we add that value to the E820 making it:
PV spinlocks cannot possibly work with the current code because they are
enabled after pvops patching has already been done, and because PV
spinlocks use a different data structure than native spinlocks so we
cannot switch between them dynamically. A spinlock that has been taken
once by the native code (__ticket_spin_lock) cannot be taken by
__xen_spin_lock even after it has been released.

address calculation can wrap if the next power of two boundary is

hence can result in user space addresses being accessed (with it being
unknown what may actually be mapped there).
Additionally, the elimination of the mistaken use of fls() here (should

- __online_page_increment_counters() - increment totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages,
- __online_page_free() - free page to allocator.
It was done to:
- not duplicate existing code,
- ease hotplug code devolpment by usage of well defined interface,
- avoid stupid bugs which are unavoidable when the same code

Currently, the retuning timer for retuning mode 1 will be deleted in
function sdhci_tasklet_finish after a mmc request done, which will make
retuning timing never trigger again. This patch fixed this problem.

Delete the 10 msec delay between the INIT and SIPI when starting
slave cpus. I can find no requirement for this delay. BIOS also
has similar code sequences without the delay.
Removing the delay reduces boot time by 40 sec. Every bit helps.
When we enter a 32-bit system call via SYSENTER or SYSCALL, we shuffle
the arguments to match the int $0x80 calling convention. This was
probably a design mistake, but it's what it is now. This causes
errors if the system call as to be restarted.
For SYSENTER, we have to invoke the instruction from the vdso as the
return address is hardcoded. Accordingly, we can simply replace the
jump in the vdso with an int $0x80 instruction and use the slower
entry point for a post-restart.
When executing EC commands, only waiting when there are still
more bytes to write is usually fine. However, if the system
suspends very quickly after a call to olpc_ec_cmd(), the last
data byte may not yet be transferred to the EC, and the command
will not complete.
This solves a bug where the SCI wakeup mask was not correctly
written when going into suspend.
It means that sometimes, on XO-1.5 (but not XO-1), the
devices that were marked as wakeup sources can't wake up
the system. e.g. you ask for wifi wakeups, suspend, but then
incoming wifi frames don't wake up the system as they should.

This change replaced the SMP operations with event based handlers without
taking into account that this only works when the hypervisor supports
callback vectors. This causes unexplainable hangs early on boot for
HVM guests with more than one CPU.

), but also slightly dangerous in the 32-on-64 case - the element
address calculation can wrap if the next power of two boundary is
sufficiently far away from the actual upper limit of the table, and
hence can result in user space addresses being accessed (with it being
unknown what may actually be mapped there).
Additionally, the elimination of the mistaken use of fls() here (should
have been __fls()) fixes a latent issue on x86-64 that would trigger
if the code was run on a system with memory extending beyond the 44-bit
boundary.

These were intended to avoid the namespace clash when representing
emulated IDE and SCSI devices. However that seems to confuse users
more than expected (a disk defined as sda becomes xvde).
So for now go back to the scheme which does no adjustments. This
will break when mixing IDE and SCSI names in the configuration of
guests but should be by now expected.

Finally, commit 1449032be17abb69116dbc393f67ceb8bd034f92 returned back
the old IO submission code but apparently it forgot to return the old
handling of uninitialized buffers so we unconditionnaly call
block_write_full_page() without specifying end_io function. So AFAICS
we never convert unwritten extents to written in some cases. For
example when I mount the fs as: mount -t ext4 -o
nomblk_io_submit,dioread_nolock /dev/ubdb /mnt and do
int fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC, 0600);
char buf[1024];
memset(buf, 'a', sizeof(buf));
fallocate(fd, 0, 0, 16384);
write(fd, buf, sizeof(buf));
I get a file full of zeros (after remounting the filesystem so that
pagecache is dropped) instead of seeing the first KB contain 'a's.
EXT4_IO_END_UNWRITTEN flag set and the increase of i_aiodio_unwritten
should be done simultaneously since ext4_end_io_nolock always clear
the flag and decrease the counter in the same time.
We don't increase i_aiodio_unwritten when setting
EXT4_IO_END_UNWRITTEN so it will go nagative and causes some process
to wait forever.
Part of the patch came from Eric in his e-mail, but it doesn't fix the
problem met by Michael actually.

Flush inode's i_completed_io_list before calling ext4_io_wait to
prevent the following deadlock scenario: A page fault happens while
some process is writing inode A. During page fault,
shrink_icache_memory is called that in turn evicts another inode
B. Inode B has some pending io_end work so it calls ext4_ioend_wait()
that waits for inode B's i_ioend_count to become zero. However, inode
B's ioend work was queued behind some of inode A's ioend work on the
same cpu's ext4-dio-unwritten workqueue. As the ext4-dio-unwritten
thread on that cpu is processing inode A's ioend work, it tries to
grab inode A's i_mutex lock. Since the i_mutex lock of inode A is
still hold before the page fault happened, we enter a deadlock.
Also moves ext4_flush_completed_IO and ext4_ioend_wait from
ext4_destroy_inode() to ext4_evict_inode(). During inode deleteion,
ext4_evict_inode() is called before ext4_destroy_inode() and in
ext4_evict_inode(), we may call ext4_truncate() without holding
i_mutex lock. As a result, there is a race between flush_completed_IO
that is called from ext4_ext_truncate() and ext4_end_io_work, which
may cause corruption on an io_end structure. This change moves
ext4_flush_completed_IO and ext4_ioend_wait from ext4_destroy_inode()
to ext4_evict_inode() to resolve the race between ext4_truncate() and
ext4_end_io_work during inode deletion.
ext4_should_writeback_data() had an incorrect sequence of
tests to determine if it should return 0 or 1: in
particular, even in no-journal mode, 0 was being returned
for a non-regular-file inode.
This meant that, in non-journal mode, we would use
ext4_journalled_aops for directories, symlinks, and other
non-regular files. However, calling journalled aop
callbacks when there is no valid handle, can cause problems.
This would cause a kernel crash with Jan Kara's commit 2d859db3e4 ("ext4: fix data corruption in inodes with
journalled data"), because we now dereference 'handle' in
ext4_journalled_write_end().
I also added BUG_ONs to check for a valid handle in the
obviously journal-only aops callbacks.
I tested this running xfstests with a scratch device in
these modes:
